Taylor of Old Bond Street Shaving Cream

The brush included in this kit is made from pure badger hair. This material is prized for its ability to retain water and heat, which helps create a dense, warm lather.

The sandalwood scent is classic and masculine, characterized by warm, woody base notes balanced with subtle floral and herbal undertones. It is sophisticated and noticeable, but generally not overpowering for daily use.

Yes, the formula is designed to be moisturizing and is suitable for all skin types. Because it is paraben-free, it is generally gentler on the skin, though you should always patch test if you have a history of specific ingredient sensitivities.

While you can build a lather directly on your face, using a separate shaving bowl can help you whip up a thicker, more consistent foam more quickly. If you are new to wet shaving, starting with a bowl is often the easiest way to master the technique.

Because the cream is highly concentrated, you only need a small, almond-sized amount to create a full lather. With daily use, a single tub typically lasts between three to six months depending on how much product you use per shave.
